Exploring theoretical physics, consciousness, Ai, and God in a technically rigorous manner. If you'd like to support this endeavor, then please visit the Patreon ( https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal ). Thank you for your charitable and kindhearted support. My name's Curt Jaimungal, a Torontonian with a degree in mathematical physics from the University of Toronto and I analyze various Theories of Everything from this analytic perspective, though more and more opening up to alternative approaches. The separating factor of TOE from other podcasts is its focus on depth even at the risk of limiting the audience due to how much detail we delve into subjects. Paralleling the intensity found in academic discourse, we're increasingly embracing a spectrum of unconventional ideas to conduct research during this podcast, rather than merely conveying existing information.

    The Nobel Laureate Who (Also) Says Quantum Theory Is "Totally Wrong"

Visit https://www.economist.com/toe In this episode, I speak with Nobel laureate Gerard ’t Hooft, a theoretical physicist known for his work on the electroweak interaction and his radical ideas about quantum mechanics. To him, the universe is a cosmic pinball machine. Every ball follows a fixed path. No randomness. No mystery. We only invented quantum mechanics to cope with our ignorance. In his picture, there are no real numbers. No wave functions. No superposition. Just discrete states clicking forward, one after another, beneath everything we see.

  • Philosophers vs. Physicists

    Philosophers vs. Physicists
    Aug 12 2025
    Curt discusses how philosophy has directly contributed to physics through Bell's theorem, decoherence theory, the hole argument, and more. Meanwhile, via John Norton, we uncover the hidden philosophical assumptions in physics that most scientists don’t even realize they’re making.

  • Dirac's 90-Year-Old "Mistake" Unifies All of Physics

    Dirac's 90-Year-Old "Mistake" Unifies All of Physics
    Jul 29 2025
    As a listener of TOE you can get a special 20% off discount to The Economist and all it has to offer! Visit https://www.economist.com/toe In this episode, I speak with Professor Felix Finster, a radical thinker reimagining the foundations of physics. We explore his theory of causal fermion systems, where reality emerges from quantum correlations—without assuming spacetime or geometry. From the Dirac sea to quantum gravity, this conversation challenges familiar concepts and offers a glimpse into where the next physics revolution might begin.

The Theory of Everything podcast has proven to be one of the few willing to take deep dives into topics from across the spectrum. While physics based, and presuming you’ve got some background in the topic, Or willingness to learn, this podcast challenges you to THINK for yourself! Outstanding in every way. Cast your net wide, but prep for deep dives, and avoid the bends…

TOE is perhaps one of the best deep-thought podcast out there to-date!
